Game & Wario scheduled for June

Nintendo has confirmed a release date for party title Game & Wario, which consists of 16 minigames designed around the GamePad tablet controller.

Game & Wario is hitting North America on June 23 and will cost $40, which is a little low for a Wii U title. But Joystiq reports that $40 is indeed the MSRP.

The game was originally supposed to launch alongside the Wii U last November. Releasing next month, it's the first Nintendo-developed title to come out since.

Nintendo plans to roll out "a few" Wii U games in the first half of this year, according to company president Satoru Iwata. Delays were caused by Nintendo's underestimation of the resources needed to complete them.
